EIGHT "different" GPUs differentiated exclusively by clock speeds and memory configuration? With ranges of clock speeds on some of those parts? Is there some requirement that GPU naming conventions must be actively consumer-hostile?Reply

I agree that it is over the top, but at least the different clock speeds / bus widths are separated into different models (with the exception of the 8750 :/ ). I'd prefer that to having the same model number and a lucky dip on what clockspeeds/bus width/gddr type you get. Especially when most laptop vendors don't provide that much detail on what you are getting.

Having this many variants is obviously necessary to meet different cost points and TDP envelopes.Reply

Yes it's important to have consumer-hostile naming conventions in all graphics cards, just as it's necessary to have tit and arse graphics on GPU cards and boxes. How do you expect to stimulate sales from the 13 year olds?Reply

"Notably, NVIDIA’s mobile parts do not feature NVIDIA’s equivalent technology (GPU Boost) despite the fact that they introduced the technology on the desktop first, so AMD is ahead of NVIDIA in this regard."

I'm pretty sure the Kepler-based Mobile cards have Boost; I have a Geforce GT645M and Boost is enabled by default.Reply
